Hi! My beloved beardie Rosy is a mature beardie, and just had a slight shed from her face. Her colors do sometimes change with a shed, and she’s eating, pooping, and acting normally. Energetic and healthy. But I don’t love the yellow tinge to her mouth. I’m going to get it checked by a vet anyway, just to catch it early if it’s yellow fungus. But I’d love some other opinions on it in the meantime, as I’m panicking. Hahaha. I love my baby girl, and keep her tank clean. But who knows. I just want to see if other beardie owners think this is normal skin coloration change after/during a shed, or if it looks like yellow fungus to them.

Thanks so much, my beardie beautifuls! Appreciate you!

Best,
Erica Russell

Its coloring along w/ shed -- that is not YF
Yes. And it looks like the head scales about to shed are that underlying yellow color underneath of them, if you look closely. I just wanted others’ opinions to make sure it wasn’t the dreaded YF. Thanks so much for sharing yours. Much appreciated! She’s probably just fine, but I will keep an eye on it, because your only chance of saving them is catching it super early with that. I agree, though. Don’t think it’s YF. Thank you my dear.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
